I build content, tools, and systems around astrology. Most of my work sits online and grows slowly, over years.

Non-duality came to me first, through the Self-Enquiry of Ramana Maharshi. You hold one question, who am I, and follow it to its source. That single practice opened everything else for me, and I suggest it to anyone before any other sadhana. Later Neem Karoli Baba drew me in, and I sat in his Kainchi ashram in 2021. From him, from Nisargadatta Maharaj, and from Shivapuri Baba, I learned what I know of grace, of dharma, and of discipline. I have written about what each of them taught me on the path.

Reading became a daily sadhana. A few books stay close to me: Ellam Ondre (All Is One), I Am That, Long Pilgrimage, Miracle of Love, and Living with the Master, along with the Ramana Gita and, from Adi Shankara, Atmabodha and Vivekachudamani. Among the scriptures I read and return to are the Adhyatma Ramayana, Yoga Vasistha, Ashtavakra Gita, Avadhuta Gita, Ribhu Gita, Devikalottaram, and Devi Gita, along with the Bhagavad Gita, the Vedanta Darshan, and the Mahabharata.

Whenever a line or a teaching caught me, I turned it into a quote and posted it. That became Vedicfeed ↗, posted daily on Instagram ↗. From 2019 to 2024 I put up more than 1,500 of them, drawn from Ramana Maharshi and Nisargadatta Maharaj, Siddharameshwar Maharaj, Shivapuri Baba, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Anandamayi Ma, Adi Shankara and Abhinavagupta, Swami Vivekananda, Trailanga Swami, Khaptad Baba, Lahiri Mahasaya and Sri Yukteswar Giri, Swami Sivananda Saraswati, and the scriptures above. The feed is read by teachers, coaches, entrepreneurs, and public figures around the world. My attention has since moved to building Vedicmarga on the web.

Jyotish came later. I taught it to myself over years of reading charts against life. It sits inside the same study as the rest.

Before astrology I was a founder, and I still work like one. For more than seventeen years I have worked in content, SEO, and marketing, inbound and outbound. I have been blogging since 2008, and over that time I have built and sold more than thirty blogs, websites, and domains across many niches. In the tech world that is the work I am known for. It is also the craft I now bring to Vedicmarga ↗, where it takes shape as:

• ·Readings and consultations. Chart work, one to one.
• ·Tools and software. Systems for astrologers who want better instruments.
• ·A spiritual lifestyle, made practical.

I have kept notes since 2011, on non-duality and the sages, on the Himalaya and the temples of the Kathmandu valley, on the ordinary business of paying attention. They moved here from Tumblr with their original dates intact, because the dates are part of what they are.

You can read the whole of it in the archive, or look at the photographs.
